How It Works: General Questions

What is NAKID? How does it work?

NAKID stands for No, Adult Kickball Isn't Dumb and we are a social sports club!

Every week, you'll head on out to your designated location to play your sport. After your games, you'll go to your designated sponsor bar, where you'll eat, drink and socialize with your teammates and opposing teams. In most cases, once you're at the sponsor bar for a bit, you'll challenge (or be challenged by) other teams to the true sport of NAKID: flip cup. In the case of bar sports and bowling, your game location and sponsor bar are one and the same!

What is a social sports club?

A social sports club is much more than just your everyday amateur sports league. Think of it more as an experience that consists of two equal themes: the first being a variety of well-organized social events and the second is being active and playing your registered sport. When you register, you're signing up to participate in the social events and your chosen sport during a designated period of time, usually called a season, which varies in length between 6-12 weeks long (depending on the sport and season).

What's a game day like?

Once per week, you'll meet up with your team at your assigned field or court and against an opposing team. After your games, you'll visit the designated sponsor bar, where you'll eat, drink and socialize with your teammates.

Throughout the season, we have a variety of social events that you are invited to. To keep the most informed on all of our social events, including RSVPing for our 3 free parties, free movie screenings and other social events each season, please join our Meetup group.

What if I have to miss some games?

That's totally fine. We all have other commitments in our lives. If you can, just give your captain a heads up (via email).

Do members play nude?

Nope! We've just got a fun name.

What does my membership get me?

Your membership gets you tons of new friends, a season of a sport (that you choose), a t-shirt, 3 free parties and access to a variety of other events.

What are the requirements to join?

All participants must be 21 or older, have health insurance and agree to our terms and conditions to join NAKID.

Can I join alone?

Absolutely! Most of our members join alone.

What is the age range of members?

Most of our members are between 21-35 years old. The average age is 24.

How do rainouts work?

We'll update our NAKID hotline (855-GO-NAKID) if games have to be cancelled. In that event, we all meet up at the bar at game time and NAKID buys some beer (a limited amount). We do not reschedule rained out games.

Why does my team have to referee?

In most of our sports, the referees are our members and teams. This allows us to keep our costs low, so we can have a variety of fun events and free parties for members.

We're more than an amateur sports league
